Sorry, lots of questions. Do I just do the AP setting in Odin?

depends on what you want to achieve.... if you want to upgrade and not lose any apps or stuff, then yes, only AP
if you want to upgrade and have OTA upgrades in the future, you have to flash all of them, but that will factory reset your phone

I really think we should make a new thread and just refer to the OP every time someone asks a question... not being ugly, just think it's a good idea.

Apparently I did this in 2015: https://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showth...rs-Guide-1-Flashing-Official-Samsung-Firmware
Busy updating the OP now

Can those give me url for the other non-sammobile sources of the firmware? can't remember them now (which is part of why want to do this :D )

samfirm PC app works great still, direct from Samsung servers at full speed - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647

Otherwise, Updato
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model

I also have get notices of changes from Samsung-updates.com, which lists live firmware releases as they happen from Samsung
S7 Edge for example
http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SM-G935F

My battery usage after updating to BTU Nougat... Happy that it's resolved my battery drain issues. I've been getting only 10 hours since the security update that was released in Dec.

I've been pretty active on my phone over the past day and a half.

I dont know if it is just me... But the themes are aweful. The themes i had before are not compatible anymore. And the rest are hideous and expensive

Used it a while ago, but there wasn't a large selection of media available yet.
With more 360 cams available might be entertaining for a coupe of minutes

Are there no game or movies to use with the device? Can it not be used with your normal apps and games, movies, youtube etc?

Best go to a Samsung experience area and try it out or ask to test in the corner cellrepair shop
